Fortuna Records Presents:

• Bachir Attar With Elliott Sharp - In New York •

Moroccan Jajouka master Bachir Attar meets American experimental musician Elliot Shrap for a live jam of drum machines and traditional Moroccan instruments in 1990. Bachir Attar's Career spans five decades and represents the transcendental sounds of Jajouka, a small Moroccan village situated between Fes and Tangier, known for its unique mystical sound. Fans include William Burroughs and The Rolling Stones with which Bachir recorded with in 1989. A year later Attar collaborated with the prolific avant-garde jazz musician Elliot Sharp on this very Album. Both Sharp and Attar have dedicated their careers to exploring the meeting points between east and west and this album is a unique example of two brilliant minds creating a new, ultra trippy sonic experience.

This release is a first collaboration between Fortuna Records and our friends Dikraphone Records out of Morocco, a serious unearthed of lost Moroccan music. Look out for more Dikraphone-Fortuna collaborations in the future!

Fortuna Records Presents:

• The Souvenirs - Bush Lark Ritual + Laughing Dove Dance 7'' •

A mysterious 45 from Fortuna Records by The Souvenirs. Two spiritual meditation clappers, sounding like ancient rituals for percussion and flute. Hallucinogenic music for healing and exorcism, echoing Tunisian stambali where spirits of ancestors are called to heal the sick.

Smokey 4x4 rhythms make way for a primitive wooden shepherd’s flute. A special one for connoisseurs of everything dubby and the obscure.

Ccolo drops his OG EP on the genre-defying Multi Culti.

'Bumblebeez' producer and frontman Christopher Colonna - Australia’s answer to Pablo Picasso - steps out to the world with an extended player of pure, unadulterated sonic imagination that perfectly represents the ethos of Multi Culti's vibe. 
 
Largely written and produced in the backwoods of Hackney in 2014 and refined at the ‘BBZ HQ Braidwood 2622,’ the songs take cues from all over the place: classical composers, trips to South Africa, the electricity of the Diwali festival, peace of mind, French women recalling their sexual nightmares, yearning for the Outback & Global roaming. Layers of tropical sounds, a collection of myriad samples & bedroom beats all at play together in an alternate reality. These uncut diamonds were previously unreleased, but an early version of Ghana was included on Multi Culti Japan, which got support from Roman Flügel, Erol Alkan and Boris Dlugosch, among others. Exoticaspeakerjam was also exclusively featured on Tiga’s BBC Radio1 mix.

It's useless to categorize, and difficult to describe, but what matters most is that the listen is warm and rewarding. It's dense with ideas, but the whole thing is wrapped up in a light-hearted charm that feels extra-precious today.

Premiere: Stranjah ‘Monkfruit’

British producer Eliphino has never been one with a relentless release schedule, yet this aspect has never formed a hindrance or disconnect with love for his music. His tunes are always anticipated, almost needed, for their distinctive Eliphino touch. 

After a break, 2019 saw a return with an EP on Meda Fury and later a mini-LP with Secretsundaze. 2020 has seen a continued new lease of life with further output via Bobby's Needs label and Breaks 'N' Pieces. 
Now with the ever-presented Hypercolour, he preps his first EP with the label in seven years, entitled 'Maelstrom'. 

Track 'Eddy' is a shuffling, insidious cut. Threading moody synths and bubbly elements through gentle breaks, a robot generated sample 'delete' ring roads around the arrangement bringing an ordinarily 'out-of-our-head' experience back home.
